Now obviously the Ironworkers bridge is directional and you shouldn’t cross the inlet southbound on the east side - that much is clear - but surely the highlighted stretch is two-way, right?
I mean, there’s even a sign by Bates Park with an arrow that points south…
Yet on numerous occasions people have complained that I’m going the wrong way, despite having no way to possibly know where I’m trying to go.
I’ve owned this M645 for a while. It’s shot fine until now, but recently started leaving these artifacts on most images.
The artifacts span the entire width of the film, not just the image square, and; combined with the visual condition of the door’s light seals (or the near complete absence thereof), I’m thinking it’s just bad light seals.
So is this probably just the main seals around the edge of the film door, or could it be something bigger like a problem with the shutter or the rear door locking mechanism?
One thing I've struggled with ever since diagnosis is spreading my calorie intake throughout the day. I usually skip breakfast and eat very small lunches to minimize IOB while active during the day, meaning I usually cram most of my daily nutrition into the space between ~5pm and bedtime.
That also makes it very easy to rack up an... uncomfortably-large amount of insulin onboard in the evenings in order to hit my maintenance calories.
Anecdotally: accumulating >4-5u onboard makes things so volatile (inevitable deep, sticky hypos) that I often find myself going to bed hungry / running a calorie deficit for that day. That's been great at keeping weight off, but I wonder how sustainable it is in the long run.
It make me wonder: is this just another honeymoon problem that will recede as the condition progresses, or do you generally place a limit on the IOB you're willing to have onboard at a given time?
Does anyone know (or wish to guess) how much it'd cost to put a a retired mk I car in your garden?
I assume flat-bedding it within the south coast would easily cost you ~ $5k - $10k, but does anyone know how much BCRTC would charge for the car itself?
I do a lot of shooting while biking, and built a DIY aluminum mount to attach a 1450 Pelican case onto my rear rack.
I’m hoping the Pelican case offers enough protection against the constant bumps and vibration, as well as from the dust on gravel trails.
To anyone who regularly transports camera gear by bicycle or by motorcycle: does this seem like enough protection, or would you still rather keep the camera on your body?
I came across this frame amongst a massive collection of 116 format negatives that I’ve been scanning.
Any idea what ship this is?
Just based on other context clues, I’d say most images are from the late 1920s to the mid 1930s, and that this picture was probably taken somewhere in the UK.
I've only had T1 for ~8 months at this point, and I've tried to take a very analytical, spreadsheet-filled approach to figuring out new foods.
So far, my assumption is that if I have enough insulin to kill myself 20+ times then there's nothing I physically cannot eat, and it's always just a matter of finding the dosing strategy that works for that particular thing.
But when it comes to the really nasty foods: is there actually a hard limit where the math stops working properly, or is the limit exclusively just the time and effort you find worth putting in for that particular food?
I guess in other words: are there true 'forbidden' foods where just one bite would send you high even with a 200 units bolus?
It makes sense for standard short acting insulins to work for 3-4 hours so people on MDI can cover a whole meal with one shot, but wouldn’t it be better for stuff like closed loop pumps to use insulins with much shorter durations - e.g. 15 mins - 1 hour.
It seems like faster-acting and shorter-lasting insulins would allow for even finer control, since BG wouldn’t be subject to dosing decisions from 2+ hours ago, and you’d have way less IOB at any given time.
I have three boxes that are included in the recall, leaving me with just one more non-affected pod.
I’ve already gotten the boxes replaced over the phone, but I was told shipping would take 5-7 business days.
Should I just take my chances using ones from the defective lots if the replacements don’t arrive in time? At the moment, I don’t have any other means to administer insulin.
I’m in Canada if that matters.
I'm using a 5L kit from Kodak. AFAIK Kodak recommends compensating for reuse by replenishing the working solution, rather than lengthening developing times like lots of other kits.
Right now I have 1L of developer from back in March that I've kept refrigerated in a wine bladder between uses. I've replenished before every use at a rate of:
Or in other words: prior to developing, I remove 67mL of working solution from the 1L bladder, mix 67mL of fresh developer from concentrates, add that to the bladder, burp out the air, then proceed with developing.
But this makes me wonder: is it better to store the replenishing developer in concentrate-form, or am I better off storing it as mixed developer?
Spotted this legend in the Park Royal McDonald’s drive through at around 10pm back in 2025, and I completely memory-holed it until I found the picture on my phone.
Absolutely cannot believe that ICBC let that one through.
British Columbia twink, hope you’re doing well wherever you are now…
I shot this Graflex 22 for the first time in a while, and noticed some strange light leaks that appeared part way through a roll of Tri-X 400.
The first image is taken through the open back of the TLR, showing light from a headlamp leaking past the closed leaf shutter. Exposure for the first image was 15” at iso 2500 and f2.8, which corresponds to an EV of ~ -6.
I also noticed a tiny leak in the vicinity of the ruby window, but it seems minor compared to the leak through the shutter.
Should I just expect this from TLR’s, and be more careful about keeping the taking lens covered until I’m ready to shoot? I checked a different Graflex 22 that I had laying around, and it exhibits the exact same leak.
Wanting to sort through and put them in categories but I don’t know what anything is. Also need help knowing what is original and duplicate. And which are valuable.
The US’s foremost ULCC just ceased operations in-part due to the oil shocks.
Given how much more tenuous airline economics tends to be in Canada, do you think Flair is at risk of a similar fate?
